Quasimodo (from Quasimodo Sunday [1]) is one of the main characters of the French novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831) by Victor Hugo. Born with numerous deformities, most notably a hunched back , Quasimodo serves as the bell-ringer for Notre Dame cathedral in fifteenth century Paris .
It focuses on the unfortunate story of Quasimodo, the Roma street dancer Esmeralda and Quasimodo's guardian the Archdeacon Claude Frollo in 15th-century Paris.
